gross!

Screen shot of a Baltimore Sun “analysis” that was entirely written by AI. There’s a more disclosing that the analysis was written by an AI tool at the request of the Sun and reviewed by staff members.

You cannot even imagine how weird it was to watch Trinidad with mics meant to record, not to amplify. But it was sick.

I do need everyone to know that I got a big laugh today from this botched press release announcing the prosecutors coming together as “FOFO”

An email from some press guy announcing the DAs group as (FOFO) when they clearly meant it to be FAFO, as in fuck around and find out

me: trying to look up an old mob wives reference

the billion dollar super computer:

a screenshot of a google search of the classic mob wives line “I went in beautiful and came out ugly” and the AI overview going “it sounds like you are experiencing a deeply challenging, disorienting and emotional shift in how you perceive yourself”

well I certainly know what my first records request of 2026 will be for

MDJ
Zanelli
possessed
what
she termed
a
“Book
of
Grudges”
in
her
office,
whichhad
the
appearance
of
an
ancient
leatherbound
tome
with
papyrus
pages.
The
“Book
of
Grudges”
bore
an
inscription,
written
by
MDJ
Zanelli,
dated
November
22, 2023,
which
stated,
“Upon
this
day,
we
shall
begin
to
record
within
our
Book
of
Grudges.”
Following
the
inscription, MDJ
Zanelli
made
notes
in
the
“Book
of
Grudges,”
some
of
which
were
decipherable
and
some
which
were
not
decipherable.
Of
the
notes that
were
decipherable, MDJ
Zanelli
described
a
local
attorney
as
“Just
a
Dick,”
and she made
notes
that
were
critical
of
another
person
who
appeared
before her
in
landlord-tenant
matters.

MD)
Zanelli
also
possessed
a
desk calendar
that
she
brought
into
her
office
following
her election
that,
among other
things,
contained
explicit
sexual
messages
cn
varying topics, evidently
intended to
be
humorous,
such
as
“Bedroom Piants
He'll
Have to
Slice
Through
With
a
Machete If
He
Wants That
Pussy.”

In
conversation
with her
own
court
staff and before other court
personnel, MDJ
Zanelli
habitually
used
profanity,
such
as
the term
“cuntrageous,”
a
cacophemism
combining
the word “cunt” and
“outrageous.”

fellas, is a tidy narrative to say it's bad to cut a journalist into pieces with a bone saw?

Excerpt from a blog by the editor of Semafor Gulf. First sentence of this paragraph is highlighted:

Journalists tend to like tidy narratives, and early impressions often stick. When his father became king in 2015, Prince Mohammed was portrayed as impulsive — launching a war in Yemen, dragging the country into tiffs with Canada and Germany, and famously cracking down on fellow princes and billionaires. For most Saudis, however, that turbulent stretch also included a reshaping of daily life: new jobs, expanded social freedoms, and an economy increasingly wired into global capital and poised to become the world’s biggest construction market.

ok so, sorry, I know a lot is going on but the Naval Academy went on lockdown yesterday because of a false alarm, but a midshipman was still shot? implication here is...by Naval Security Forces? www.thebanner.com/community/lo...

A midshipman was shot at the U.S. Naval Academy on Thursday evening, during a campus lockdown and heavy police response for hours, a U.S. Navy official said.

The chaos unfolded shortly after 5 p.m. when Naval security and local police responded to reports of suspicious activity on the academy grounds, the official said.

this part highlighted by me: While officials confirmed there was no active shooter threat, one person was hurt as Naval Security Forces cleared a building and was flown to a hospital in stable condition, the official confirmed.

Police responded near Bancroft Hall, which houses midshipmen in its more than 1,600 dorm rooms. It is the biggest single college dormitory in the world, according to the school’s website.

To say that seeing these kinds of concerns coming from journalists at **The Marshall Project** of all places is dispiriting to say the least.

But like…especially weird move to violate Weingarten given, uh, the name of the organization? Is one of the justices who joined the Weingarten opinion??

You should come hear @brittanyhailer.bsky.social and me speak passionately about the justice system and give a very, very serious presentation. Here is a sneak preview of how serious we are. See you at 10:15! #IRE25
